Drill: Redesign the slop: take a generic SaaS landing page (gradient hero, 3 feature cards, emoji icons) and redesign it to avoid every anti-slop rule in claude-design. Target: same content, 10x less generic.
Interpretation: Built as 'Layline' — a work planner whose differentiator is dependency truth: when a task slips, you see the launch-date consequence. The slop version would be a Monday-style gradient hero + trusted-by logos + 3 feature cards + 3-tier pricing; instead the hero IS a live critical-path Gantt where one slipped task visibly moves the ship date (ghost originals + hatched slip + moved milestone), sections are artifact-anchored (slip log, honestly over-booked week), and pricing is an itemized per-seat bill. Aesthetic: whiteprint/drafting — cool paper, ink, one blueprint-blue accent, amber strictly for slip/risk semantics, Libre Franklin + JetBrains Mono, zero gradients/shadows/emoji.
Work planning · dependencies · critical path
Boards show where work is. Layline traces every dependency, so when one task slips you see the launch-date consequence while there is still slack to do something about it.

The slip log
Every estimate edit, completion, and risk in Layline re-prices the launch date and lands in one log. Read it at 09:00 and you know the day's three real decisions. Nothing is ever “95% done.”
The amber lines are the meeting. If a row doesn't change anyone's mind, it doesn't earn a row.

The honest week
A task takes the day it fits in, not the day it deserves. Layline schedules against the real week: it refuses to book Wednesday's ninth hour, flags the overage in amber, and shows Friday's open hours as the recovery room.
Capacity is per person, per day, with the 8-hour line drawn where it actually is. The plan changes when the week does, not after the sprint retro.
One studio, one quote
“We cancelled the Monday status meeting. The slip log is the status. Fifteen people read four amber lines at nine and the day plans itself.”

Every task declares what it waits on. The chart draws itself, and the critical path is never a guess.
Each change re-prices the launch instantly. You read consequences, not percent-complete.
Spend slack where the path says, not where the noise is. The float column is the negotiation.
Pricing
No tiers, no seat-tier games, no “contact sales.” The bill is arithmetic you can check: nine dollars a head, everything included, cancel any month.
